We study entropies caused by the unstable part of partially hyperbolic systems. We define unstable metric entropy and unstable topological entropy, and establish a variational principle for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphsims, which states…

We study partially hyperbolic homoclinic classes of $C^1$-generic diffeomorphisms with a one-dimensional central bundle, so that the central Lyapunov exponent $\chi^c(\mu)$ is well defined for any ergodic measure $\mu$ supported on the…

We prove that for every ergodic invariant measure with positive entropy of a continuous map on a compact metric space there is $\delta>0$ such that the dynamical $\delta$-balls have measure zero. We use this property to prove, for instance,…

Suppose f is a C^{1+\epsilon} surface diffeomorphism with positive topological entropy. For every positive \delta strictly smaller than the topological entropy of f we construct an invariant Borel set E such that (a) f|E has a countable…

We show the finiteness of homoclinic classes carrying measures with large Lyapunov exponents for $\mathcal{C}^2$ surface diffeomorphisms. As a consequence, we derive the finiteness of the set of ergodic measures of maximal entropy, in the…

For any $1\leq r<\infty$, we build on the disk and therefore on any manifold, a $C^r$-diffeomorphism with no measure of maximal entropy.

We construct ergodic probability measures with infinite metric entropy for typical continuous maps and homeomorphisms on compact manifolds. We also construct sequences of such measures that converge to a zero-entropy measure.

In this paper we study a skew product map $F$ with a measure $\mu$ of positive entropy. We show that if on the fibers the map are $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphisms with nonzero Lyapunov exponents, then $F$ has ergodic measures of intermediate…

In this work we obtain a new criterion to establish ergodicity and non-uniform hyperbolicity of smooth measures of diffeomorphisms. This method allows us to give a more accurate description of certain ergodic components. The use of this…

We obtain new entropy rigidity results for $u$-Gibbs measures by showing that whenever a $u$-Gibbs measure of a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism admits an unstable Margulis family, the unstable Jacobian data of the system must to be…

In this work we present an example of C^\infty-diffeomorphism of a compact 4-manifold such that it admits a global SRB measure \mu but for which the special ergodic theorem doesn't hold. Namely, for this transformation there exist a…

In this paper we establish a dichotomy for the ergodic measures of maximal entropy for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one-dimensional compact center leaves which are virtually skew products over (transitive) Anosov homeomorphism.…

A $C^\infty$ surface diffeomorphism admits a SRB measure if and only if the set \left \{x, \limsup_n \frac{1}{ n} \log \|d_xf^n \|> 0\right\} has positive Lebesgue measure. Moreover the basins of the ergodic SRB measures are covering this…

We study the invariant measures of typical $C^0$ maps on compact connected manifolds with or without boundary, and also of typical homeomorphisms. We prove that the weak$^*$ closure of the set of ergodic measurescoincides with the weak$^*$…

For $C^1$ diffeomorphisms with continuous invariant splitting without domination, we prove the existence of (un)stable manifold under the hyperbolicity of invariant measures.

Let $\{T^t\}$ be a smooth flow with positive speed and positive topological entropy on a compact smooth three dimensional manifold, and let $\mu$ be an ergodic measure of maximal entropy. We show that either $\{T^t\}$ is Bernoulli, or…

In this survey we recall basic notions of disintegration of measures and entropy along unstable laminations. We review some roles of unstable entropy in smooth ergodic theory including the so-called invariance principle, Margulis…

We consider an ergodic invariant measure $\mu$ for a smooth action of $Z^k$, $k \ge 2$, on a $(k+1)$-dimensional manifold or for a locally free smooth action of $R^k$, $k \ge 2$ on a $(2k+1)$-dimensional manifold. We prove that if $\mu$ is…

In this paper, we show that for several interesting systems beyond uniform hyperbolicity, any generic continuous function has a unique maximizing measure with zero entropy. In some cases, we also know that the maximizing measure has full…

We give a new type of sufficient condition for the existence of measures with maximal entropy for an interval map $f$, using some non-uniform hyperbolicity to compensate for a lack of smoothness of $f$. More precisely, if the topological…
